Oftentimes, commonly encountered illnesses and ailments go undiagnosed. Sometimes, the failure to timely diagnose an ailment leads to nothing more significant than a delay in recovery. However, other times, a delay in diagnosis can have disastrous consequences. For example, cancers that are not timely diagnosed can grow, spread, and become more difficult to treat. Infections that are not timely diagnosed can overwhelm antibiotic or even surgical management. Other conditions, such as aneurysms, blood clots, or bleeding ulcers, can cause catastrophic injury or death if not promptly recognized and treated.

If you suspect that you have suffered an illness that went undiagnosed by a physician, you should consult with an attorney who can have your records reviewed.
